An Interview with Humpty Dumpty from "Humpty Dumpty Sat On a Wall"

Writing Strands Level # 6 Lesson # 8

Dear reader,

            This is a fun story about Humpty Dumpty. I wrote this piece at the age of 17. It could be a very interesting story if you have little one’s who like this nursery rhyme. Or you probably like the rhyme yourself and would like to hear this rendition. This was the first time that I was given the assignment of interviewing someone. Even though this was actually an interview with a fictional character it provided some grounds for my next blog. It will contain “real” interviews and will be about the issue of prayer in public schools. I hope that it will be thought provoking. This Blog will commence after a short bit on writing from Dave Marks. As always the Glory goes to GOD for His help in this assignment.

            (The following is an excerpt from Writing Strands Level #6 Lesson #8.)

            It may take you six days to learn:

1.      Imaginary characters sometimes do what they want to do

            2.   How to write an interview

PREWRITING

Day One:

            Newspaper or magazine writers, before the have interviews with people in the news, must plan their time carefully so that they can learn as much as possible while they’re talking to their interviewees.

            Good interviews are much more complicated than just the asking of a series of questions. There is research which the interviewers have to do. Reporters must find out all they can about people before talking to them.

The Mandalorian Armor

Dear Reader,

        

        This book report was written when I was at the age of 17. Since this was our writing curriculum that we used at Golden Hills Academy it covered just about everything. The goals of this lesson were: 1. Identify the forces in conflict in a novel 2. Describe these forces 3. Show how these forces are important to the book

         If you haven't read this book I would recomend that you read it. If you like Star Wars that is.

Writing Strands Level # 6: Lesson # 6: Book Report

The Mandalorian Armor

The most notable book I read, in 2008, was The Mandalorian Armor. Published in June, 1998, by Bantam Books, and written by K. W. Jeter.

            In this book Jeter writes of the struggles that face bounty hunters in the Star Wars universe. Some of these being: a criminal organization known as the Black Sun, the Empire, the growing Rebel Alliance, an arachnoid Assembler, and – perhaps the most dangerous of all – each other.

            Emperor Palpatine, ruler of the Empire; Prince Xizor, leader of the Black Sun; and Kuat of Kuat, operator of a large ship production company; are all powerful players in Jeter’s book. However, the majority of the author’s writings follow Boba Fett.

            Boba Fett is a legendary bounty hunter known throughout the galaxy for being ruthless and very competent. Dengar is another bounty hunter who along with his wife and a freed dancing slave, named Neelah, end up helping Fett in part of the story.
